Pudding Finger Printing

What better way to spend a rainy Friday than by fingerprinting in pudding! Using pudding is a wonderful way to engage children in a writing experience because it looks, smells and tastes wonderful, appealing to many senses! We offered children chocolate and vanilla pudding, and many chose to use both on their papers and explored what happened when the colours/flavours mixed. It was great fun as children practiced printing their names and drawing in the pudding!
